Gretchen Blough Gives Tariff Updates on Marketplace

by logisticsplus | Jun 19, 2023 | News

Logistics Plus Customs Brokerage Manager Gretchen Blough made another appearance on Marketplace to discuss international trade and China tariffs that are still in place from the Trump era.

Gretchen commented on how the tariffs have made U.S. manufacturers more competitive. “These additional tariffs on everything, the additional duties on everything, gives the U.S. manufacturers a more level playing field,” said Blough, who works at Logistics Plus in Erie, Pennsylvania. Gretchen added, “The landed cost goes up on these imported goods, and therefore the U.S. manufacturer is able to better compete with them.”

The complete podcast (Some U.S. manufacturers are still benefiting from Trump-era tariffs) is below and available online at https://www.marketplace.org/2023/06/16/some-u-s-manufacturers-are-still-benefiting-from-trump-era-tariffs/

Logistics Plus Provides Mobile Trauma Vans to Medics in Bakhmut, Ukraine

by logisticsplus | Jun 7, 2023 | News

Working with contacts in combat positions in Ukraine, Logistics Plus funded, procured, and outfitted two custom-equipped vans set up as mobile trauma units, and last week we delivered them to Bakhmut. These vans were outfitted with the gear and equipment specifically requested by the Ukrainian field medics who will operate them. Field medics provide front-line mobile trauma care to address injuries that often prove fatal when not treated until the wounded reach a field hospital but can be non-fatal if treatment is provided more swiftly.

We are proud of this contribution and hope it helps make a real impact. Learn more about Logistics Plus activities in Ukraine at www.logisticsplus.com/rebuilding-ukraine.
